Emma Stone apologized for playing a half-Asian character in the 2015 film "Aloha" at the 76th annual Golden Globe Awards.

At Sunday night's ceremony, Sandra Oh, who co-hosted the show with Andy Samberg, joked about the Asian roles being whitewashed in Hollywood while speaking about "Crazy Rich Asians", which is up for a Golden Globe. She noted that Crazy Rich Asians was “the first studio film with an Asian-American lead since "Ghost in the Shell" and "Aloha.

Stone could be heard yelling "I'm sorry!" off screen after Oh's quip. She is nominated tonight for best supporting actress for her work in "The Favourite."
